Cloverdale United Reformed Church
Cloverdale United Reformed Church is part of the United Reformed Churches in North America. As a Reformed and Protestant Church we are part of that historic church that grew out of the 16th Century Protestant Reformation. We believe that Scripture alone is our only guide for faith and life and that the historic confessions (Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession and Canons of Dort) faithfully summarize the teaching of the Bible. We are United as a body of Christian believers that gathers each Lord’s Day, where God is glorified through the faithful preaching of His Word, baptism and the Lord’s Supper are received and his church is discipled with care.
